Moreover, scientists also say that matter comprises just 4.9 per cent of the universe, while dark matter (the mysterious substance that makes space look dark and can only be felt by their gravitational pull on other objects) takes up 26.8 per cent, and dark energy makes for the remaining 68.3 per cent.įrom human observation, it can be said that antimatter doesn't really exist except for when it is created by specialized places like the CERN and that too for a temporary period, or when it is rarely produced in some high-energy instances like cosmic rays. But that would mean that today's universe shouldn't consist of anything apart from pure leftover energy.
Is there really no antimatter in the universe?Īccording to physicists, shortly after the Big Bang, matter and antimatter did meet and annihilate each other. In the Star Trek series, this is the power source for the spacecraft. When matter and antimatter particles come into contact, they annihilate each other leaving behind a massive amount of energy. It is believed in science that when the Big Bang took place, it created equal masses of matter and antimatter with opposite electric charges.
What do we know about matter and antimatter? However, till now, even the "most precise test to date" was unable to locate any difference between a hydrogen atom and the antihydrogen atom.
